The Red Sox paid 72.5 Million for Rusney Castillo and the baseball jury is still in deliberations over the signing. The defense and prosecutors have spoken to the jury – affectionately designated “Red Sox Nation” and it may be a hung jury.
Castillo has successfully displayed his ability at every level with remarkable consistency except where it counts – at the MLB level. In 2014 defensively the Castillo that was on the field was – to be polite – “inconsistent.” Poor routes to balls in the outfield and some throws that often appeared Hanley Ramirez like.
